Freddie Freeman will make his first appearance of Cactus League play Thursday, while Shohei Ohtani and Will Smith are expected to join the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup on Friday.

Shohei Ohtani is back on the attack, and Roki Sasaki is getting close. Ohtani, the unanimous 2024 National League MVP after the first 50-homer/50-stolen base season in Major League history, took his first live batting practice of the spring Sunday.

Spring training has been underway for several days now and it has been relatively uneventful, which is what happens when you have a team packed with All-Stars and very few open roster spots.

Shohei Ohtani has yet to be in the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup for a Cactus League game, nor has he so much as faced batters as a pitcher, but the two-way superstar continues to make progress on both fronts.

Shohei Ohtani took the mound for the first time this spring on Saturday. The Dodgers’ two-way superstar threw 14 pitches in his return to the rubber, all two-seam and four-seam fastballs, in front of 1,000 fans in Glendale, Arizona, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale.

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Roki Sasaki is inching closer to appearing in a Major League spring training game. Sasaki has already thrown a pair of bullpen sessions, going about 30 pitches in his second one at the indoor batting cages at Camelback Ranch,

The new Dodgers stars and some familiar faces have been quite thrilling during spring training, but there's someone who's stirring even more excitement.

Plenty of eyes have been on Roki Sasaki since the Los Angeles Dodgers began Spring Training earlier this month, and no more was that evident than during a live batting practice session last week.
